BRUEL & KJAER BROADENS SCOPE OFACCELEROMETER PRODUCT RANGEBruel & Kjaer has broadened its vibration sensors productrange by adding more than 50 new types of products includingvarious accelerometers, force transducers and hammers. The new product expansion reflects Bruel & Kjaers renewedcommitment to offer the most comprehensive line of high-performance,high-quality, economical, rugged and lightweight uniaxial andtriaxial sensors for almost any application. The company alsosupplies a wide variety of quality connectors, cables and mountingoptions that ensure optimum measurement integrity, ease of set-upand data reliability. The product range expansion has been developed to meet thecompanys growing customer demands for precision instrumentation. Bruel & Kjaer has increased its focus on product development,testing and quality to provide customer-dedicated solutions as wellas a high level of pre- and after-sales support.To support the new product developments Bruel & Kjaer has investedin new production facilities in Denmark. The new manufacturingcapability enables the company to react faster to market andcustomer demands for precision instrumentation and also givesthe opportunity to perform exacting tests on new designs to fullyoptimise product quality.Bruel & Kjaer has also strengthened its dedicated team of in-houseengineering staff to support its continuous development of newaccelerometers and sensors. Building on the many years of Bruel& Kjaer experience and knowledge the increased in-houseengineering department adds capacity not only to improveexisting accelerometers, but also to develop new versions andmake customer-specific variants of existing designs.Two of the first products to emerge from the new accelerometerdevelopment programme are the Miniature Triaxial DeltaTron&REG;Accelerometer Type 4524, which is ideal for automotive applications,and the DeltaTron Accelerometer Type 4511 developed to addressaerospace requirements.The Miniature Triaxial DeltaTron&REG; Accelerometer Type 4524 anew lightweight, triaxial, piezoelectric, OrthoShear&REG; accelerometeraddresses the needs of the automotive industry and is suitablefor: structural analysis measurements; multichannel modal analysismeasurements as well as modal measurements for automotivebody and power-train applications.Ideal for use by civil and military helicopter manufacturers, thePiezoelectric DeltaTron&REG; Accelerometer Type 4511 is flight-testcertified. All the Type 4511 processes and materials comply withMIL-STD-11268. The devices primary design objective has beenreliability under extreme conditions, yielding very high robustnessversus mechanical, electrical and environmental influences. Applications include: flight test; measurement in harsh environments;health usage monitoring systems (HUMS) and gearboxes. Both the Type 4524 and Type 4511 accelerometers were developedusing the numerical modelling technique FEM (Finite Element Modelling).Each accelerometer is individually calibrated and supplied with acomprehensive calibration chart, using state-of-the-art, random FFTtechnology, providing an 800-point, high-resolution calibration(magnitude and phase), ultimately giving a unique characterisationand securing the integrity of the vibration measurement.About Brüel & KjærWith more than 60 years experience, Brüel & Kjær is a worldleading manufacturer and supplier of sound and vibrationsolutions for use in a wide range of applications includingenvironmental noise measurements, building acoustics,vibration measurements and quality control for use in theautomotive, aerospace and consumer industries, as wellas by local authorities. __________________________________________________For more information, please contact :-Bruel & Kjaer UK Ltd.Bedford House, Rutherford, Close, Stevenage, Herts.
